Another gem from Translinked.com here. If you haven’t watched Boardwalk Empire, then you really should. It’s very entertaining. To announce the launch of the next season, which starts September 25th, a 1917 train operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit system has been updated with show propaganda (see post).

A nice video of the 25th Anniversary celebrations of SkyTrain. This includes some of the video we made for the event.

When you’re trying to make a connection between buses and wanting to catch the right SkyTrain, SeaBus or West Coast Express, do you ever feel like you’re in a video game trying to get to the next level? Well, this creative map maker mashes transit with gaming by making a Super Mario Bros 3 style SkyTrain map!

Have you ever been to Paris before? If you have, you’ll have noticed that not only do people have a lot of little dogs (yes, even more than you’ll find in Vancouver’s Yaletown), they are on average quite thin. Why is that? As this video elegantly illustrates, perhaps it’s because so many people use transit.

Centennial Secondary in Coquitlam used staggered schedules for this reason among others. It didn’t seem to help much mind you, as half of 2000+ students is still over 1000 students getting out at the same time and trying to board one of five routes!
